and then scroll down the list of thumbnails. If there's a color other than gray inside a frame
(like blue, red, or sepia), that means Elements will tint your photo when you apply that frame

photo.

Using Colorize
To add a color tint to a grayscale photo or to change the color of a photo that already has col-
or in it, you can use the Colorize checkbox in either the Hue/Saturation dialog box or the Ad-
justments panel. With this method, you can choose any color you like, as opposed to the lim-
ited choices of the layer styles and frames explained in the previous sections. And once
you've selected a color, you can adjust its intensity with the Saturation slider.
